Healthcare continues to offer excellent opportunities for job seekers, and not only positions that require a medical degree. Occupations that call for fewer years of study and offer more moderate salaries—like physical therapist assistant and lab technician—are also in demand. Many of the occupations on this list rank at the top of the Labor Department’s growth projections for 2008 to 2018, largely because millions of aging baby boomers will continue to place heightened demand on healthcare providers.

Additions to this year’s list include massage therapist and athletic trainer, both rooted in preventative medicine. Veterinarians are also very much in demand.

Our picks in the healthcare category this year:

• Athletic trainer

• Dental hygienist

• Lab technician

• Massage therapist

• Occupational therapist

• Physical therapist

• Physical therapist assistant

Continuing Education

Fitness and Health Trainer:
For the energetic, passionate, and health-conscious individual, a career assessment may lead them to any number of careers, and among them is the world of fitness instruction. As a fitness instructor, you will have the opportunity to share your love for health and wellness with others looking to achieve their fitness goals. Helping other people get healthy is a rewarding career in and of itself, but if you have a passion for fitness and the energy to inspire groups of students at a time, then a career as a fitness instructor may just be a perfect fit.

Becoming a personal fitness trainer is one of the few chances people have to turn something they love doing into their career. If working out and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is something you already consider important, imagine how much more fulfilling it would be to help others achieve their goals! Personal training is the perfect career for someone who is motivated and loves motivating others.

Massage Therapist:
The medical community continues to recognize the value of massage therapy training in client care. As insurance companies increase coverage for massage therapy work, the demand for qualified massage therapists should only increase.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics many states around the U.S. are adopting licensing regulations and standards for massage therapists, turning the field into a more respected and sought after area of expertise*.
